In this form therefore it will not be necessary to cut awaythe top of the frame as openings for the 'admission 70 of light and forthe purpose of cleansing the stones B are provided by the depthof thecorrugations which as shown in the bottom view (Fig. 9) are ample forthis purpose. The light being reected from the sides of the corrugationsagainst the jewels will give a very desirable brilliancy thereto.

In Figs. l0 and 1lA the frame C is provided With iuted or roundede'orrugations G which are cut away at the top at D tory the purpose ofadmitting light and providing for cleaning `of the stones and are cutaway at the bottom at cV for the reasons heretofore stated. r

Iii-Figs. 12 and 13 the frame work C -is 85 somewhat similar to thatillustrated in Figs.

ln Figs. 15 and 16 the frame C is provided with fiat panels I, each ofwhich is preferably formed with a 'small diamondshaped opening'z'through which lightmay be admitted and the jewels cleaned, etc. Theopening c is provided' as usual. In this 95 form the frame between theeut away portions z' provides bars l which are of substantial width asseen in the bottom view (Fig. 16) and as seen from the sides such barshave sutiicient substance to present substantially the appearance of theoutline ofak7 diamond.

In Figs. 17 and 18 a further form is illustrated of substantially theshape of an inverted truncated cone. The truncation is 105 formed bytheremoval ofthe material at c for the purposes stated. This form of ourinvention has the openings D formed by a succession yof cuts which maybe V-shaped as in Fig. 17 or they may be formed as illus- 110 tratedinFig. 14, wherein the same coneshaped body has U-shaped cuts at the topto form the openings D. In either of these forms the plain surface ofthe cone may be embellished or ornamented by engraving if 115 i openingsD are formed substantially above 120,

in Figs. 22 and Q3 the frame C is illustrated as formed into a number ofnarrow fiat'panels or 'vanes K each of which is cut at the top tol arounded outline forming V-shaped openings D., which together with theopening 0 are provided for the'purposes stated.
